Take one ascetic monk named Athanaël and one ravishingly beautiful courtesan named Thaïs, add Massenet's sensual, melodious
music, with equal dashes of eroticism and religious fervor--and you have a powerful opera that is at once a celebration of
the sacred and the profane, of flesh and soul. This rarity had not been heard at the Met for almost 40 years when it was brought
back as a vehicle for the great soprano Beverly Sills and the magnetic singing actor Sherrill Milnes. Together, they masterfully
bring to life the searing conflict at the heart of the drama

Verdi's gripping tale of Sicilians rising against the occupying French stars Renata Scotto in her only broadcast of this rarely
heard masterpiece. From the beginning of the opera, when Elena (Scotto) sings an "innocent" song fanning the people's resentment
against the foreign army, to the end, when the ringing of her wedding bells signals the start of the revolt, Scotto's artistry
blazes. James Levine leads the Met Orchestra and Chorus in a wonderfully idiomatic performance, and Ruggero Raimondi is magnificent
as Procida, the outlawed Sicilian leader
